almost of Shogi pieces are produced in Tendo |
|
|
Currently, more than 90% of Shogi pieces are produced in Tendo City. It is said that the origins date back to the late Edo period, when samurai who were struggling financially were encouraged to manufacture shogi pieces, focusing on the popular game of shogi at the time. Tendo City has the only Shogi museum in Japan, located next to JR Tendo Station.
At the "Human Shogi" event, held as a major event at the Tendo Cherry Blossom Festival that colors Tendo in spring, warriors and ladies-in-waiting dressed in armor and kimonos play as shogi pieces. |
